NICK'S UNCLASSIFIED GUIDE TO MAKING FANFICTION GAMES PART ONE

To all the programmers who try and make the next Final Fantasy

Nick's Unclassified Guide to Making Fanfiction Games, Part One

By NoblemanNick

~"What are you Selling?"-An Explanation of the Guide~

This guide I have created is focused soley on people who create games based on either real-life games or TV-shows or even other RPG Maker Games. We all know when people do this the result usually comes out "crap". You an say oh but there is good games that come out of it. Yes, I agree something good does come out once and a while, but 95% chance of all fanfiction games "crap". So I'm teaching you how maybe you can improve on your fanfiction game and make is different from the others.

~"It fell on deaf ears!"-Why Nobody Wants to hear your game.~

You have to understand, when people hear you saying "I'm making the next Final Fantasy!" or "My Naruto game" it's basically saying a new piece of bad fandom coming into the world. So they'll ignore it or call you stupid. In hopes of preventing a great problem from entering the world. Once you understand that my friend you can start on your journey!

~"Talk like a Normal Person"-The Terms I'll Use~

Heres a list of the Terms I'll use:

Fan Fiction Game- A game based on a real-life franchise game or TV-show like an RPG Maker Game starring Cloud and his adventure.

Fandom- A type of game that is created because the gamer got tired of waiting for a new installment.

Fandom Freaks- Gamers who make their own game and then spam message boards upon message boards with advertisements.

~"One more thing, Must do RESEARCH!"-Know Your Stuff~

The very first thing you need to know before even attempting is to know the game or series your trying to make another game out of. Don't skip this step and assume you know everything. Cause you know what, you don't. Fandom Freaks will tell you they know everything and then wonder why they made such a crappy Fan Fiction Game. Gee I wonder why? This will also allow you to know your limitations where your allowed to take the story and where you can't. By knowing the real-stuff you can start building off that series if you know everything about it. Research is the key. It shall seperate your Fan Fiction game from the Fandom that spam the internet. It seperates the Fandom Freaks from the real makers of genius. Real maker of Genius is what you'll become after my guide. So do your research and get ready for the next part, where I show you how to make the story and setting great and believable.

I don't get your Fandom definition. The classic definition of Fandom is a group of active fans involved with a certain "thing that you can be fan of". I'd say that a better term would probably be "fanboy" or "fanboy freak".
I don't understand what this is supposed to be or why it is useful.
I assume that once it gets a couple of prats it'll be about how to make proper fangames. That either don't butcher the canon or butcher the canon so much it's good enough comedy. And perhaps about how to correctly market fangames. Because fangames and fanfiction has an audience. Somewhere.
Exactly why this article isn't very useful. Saying that there is a proper and a non-proper way to create a fangame is too formal. Also, nobody would be presuaded to actually create a fangame in a certain way because they have their own unique style of creating their own fangames and thus do not need help to create one. The message I have obtained from this article is this: "According to an unknown fangame audience, fangames should be criticized according to proper quality and way of creation." I personally do not see the audience of fangames and I just suspect most fangames to just be a spin-off of the series of videogames that it was created after. And as Shinan said, the article is also probably about how to correctly market fangames. There is one suggestion here- show us the audience. Where is the audience?
